Retaking the MS exam today (70-270). 1:15 appointment time. Not so much with the looking forward to it, but I'll deal.

May sacrifice co-worker to the Aztec gods if she walks in silently and hands me the lunch menu without warning again.

Wonder if any of the Aztec gods could lend me a hand with the MS exam.

If they can, I say sacrifice her with a clear conscience. 's for the good of the company, after all.

Good fortune go with you today!

...probably. Don't go to Tezcatlipoca, though. Rat bastard.

And because I am anal like that, I looked up the Aztec gods and found one who might be inclined to help you:

Nanautzin. God (or occasionally Goddess) of Humble Bravery. (http://www.godchecker.com/pantheon/aztec-mythology.php?deity=NANAUTZIN) Really good at fortitude and self-sacrifice.

Hm. Scabby and with a tendency to cringe- that sounds like a tech worker, actually. (As long as I can substitute whiteheads for scabs. I don't wear age defying makeup because in my skin's case, the age being defied appears to be sixteen.) Sounds good.

And he ends up becoming the sun, which is pretty cool. I mean, tech worker to God, come on.

(And yeah, my skin is the same way.)

I don't know. I would think coming to the exam all bloody from offering her still-beating heart to Texcatlipoca would make the test supervisors rather flustered and stern. ;)

Most of these are self-tests on computers.

Frankly, I think coming in with blood on her would just make it obvious she works in the financial field. I still have sneaking suspicions about sacrifices and/or black ops groups within the company I work for.

I'd have to lock it in a cabinet the same as any other potential study aids. We take these tests on a computer, with camera monitoring, and the computer does the grading.

[mephron]

Give them hellish sorts of things.

[camwyn]

Will do, kemo sabe.

When I used an Aztec god in Kismetropolis, I went with Xipetotec whose bounty served the tech support people well.

[camwyn]

Hm. Could do worse, could do worse.

Ha. There's an issue of "Swamp Thing" v2 (one of the few things of Nancy Collins' run that didn't suck) in which a group of villagers in Central America perform a sacrifice to summon Xipe-Totec... and get the Swamp Thing instead, though with the implication that Xipe-Totec might've been a previous elemental of that time. He's not entirely cool with summoning via blood sacrifice, but when he finds out it's 'cause they want revenge on Sunderland Corp. (a mega-corp that's been a long-running pain in Swampy's proverbial ass) for screwing them over, he's totally willing to oblige.

Pointed over here by xianghua. As resident Aztec archaeoethnologist, I suggest sacrificing co-worker to Xipe Totec. He works fast, and you get the bonus of getting to flay the coworker.

Failing that, Tezcatlipoca's pretty much your all-purpose go-to guy.

[camwyn]

Oh, splendid. Any protocols I need to observe with the flaying? I mean, it's not my pantheon, so I want to make sure I make a good impression.

Just start at the back and work your way around. He really likes it if you wear the skin as a jacket, but that's more brownie points than necessary.
